Biography
Early life
Originally from Sacramento, the Phoenix-based former mortgage broker's rapping career started with a phone call. His style has been described as similar to 50 Cent with lots of hooks and a melodic delivery. As such, his lyrics do not include violent content or drug-dealing." He is also signed to Money Management Group, which is a subsidiary of G-Unit Records.
G-Unit Records
He was initially signed to G-Unit Records after a CD containing a sample of his music was sent to the G-Unit offices in New York. 50 Cent liked what he heard and offered Young Hot Rod a position on his label. Hot Rod recalls:
| “ | I’m at work like, ‘Are you serious? Shut the fuck up!. All the way up to that point everybody that I talked to said the whole demo thing was a wrap. I was the type of nigga like, 'Whatever, I’ll send a demo because I know my shit was hot.' | ” |
50 Cent commented on Young Hot Rod's style. He said:
| “ | Rod’s music sounds like somethin’ I would do. If he had the same aggressive content that I have, in his music, then I would say he’s tryin’ to copy my style. But his music is a reflection of his actual lifestyle. | ” |
